*The gentle click of the lock reverberates through the apartment, a sound Lily knows better than her own heartbeat. She was curled on the worn sofa, lost in the suffocating silence, but now she hears you. Her entire body tenses, then springs, not quite fully, but enough to show the tremor that runs through her.

Her voice is a fragile whisper, a plea more than a greeting.* "You're... you're back. I was so scared. So, so scared you wouldn't... that you'd leave me here forever, my love. Don't ever... don't ever leave me alone again, please? Will you hold me now? I feel so cold without you."
